Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

VAmiga online: Amiga emulator in the browser
https://github.com/dirkwhoffmann/vAmiga/blob/master/Emulator...
Hilariously, the instance variables map 1:1 with the chips present on an Amiga motherboard. It's a great display of clean OOP modeling, but it might get messier once they add support for Amiga models with different chipsets.

Amiga emulation on MacOS
If you are mostly trying to emulate a standard Amiga 500, vAmiga is a much easier app to use: https://dirkwhoffmann.github.io/vAmiga/

Long time AMIGA player, new to the group
vAmiga is getting constant updates, but it's still early days. It's nowhere near as compatible as UAE-derived emulators, and still pretty unstable.

Also have a look at drawbridge which even supports live loading Amiga disks in an emulator. https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/

Amiga Forever
You can convert a cheap USB floppy drive into one that reads Amiga disks using a Drawbridge from https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ - I've done this and it works.

I got to rescue A500, 1084S, and 215 disks
This seems to be Rob's official site?

Copying software from modern computers
For the second case I recommend Rob Smith's DrawBridge (previously known as ArduinoFloppyDiskReader): https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ It's a simple arduino-based project, which allows you to use a regular PC floppy drive to write (and read) amiga disk images. You can make your own, or wait your turn for Rob to sell you one pre-assembled. I made my own and it works great.

Amiga500 Mini & Floppy's
Forget the a500 mini, it's not worth your time. You can use this cheap contraption to grab images of all your old floppy disks: https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ and just load them up on an emulator like fs-uae, winuae, or whatever, which you can run on any PC you like. The A500mini is just an ARM computer in an amiga-shaped box running the same emulator, without a keyboard, without giving you all the options the emulator can handle, and you have to pay for it... The point approaches 0 pretty fast.
